        @sivers I heard that "JavaScript: The good parts" by Douglas Crockford is also good http://www.amazon.com/JavaScript-Good-Parts-Douglas-Crockford/dp/0596517742 …

        @nathandim I tried "JavaScript: The Good Parts", but it was surprisingly dense and difficult for a total newbie like me. I'll try it later.
